Resumen

Presentamos un manual de uso para el ACPE2D, un software que ofrecemos de uso gratuito, capaz de simular la propagación de ondas en medios porosos en contacto con medios fluidos, considerando geometrías bidimensionales. La principal ventaja del código reside en la posibilidad de que el usuario diseñe modelos con distribuciones arbitrarias de regiones porosas y fluidas, lo que permite representar medios fuertemente heterogéneos y geométricamente complejos. El software se basa en un método de elementos finitos implementado en mallas estructuradas e incorpora un esquema de doble paralelización. Detallamos exhaustivamente la estructura del software, que consta de varios módulos Fortran 90 y scripts de Matlab/Python para preparar los archivos de entrada y visualizar los resultados. Mostramos ejemplos de uso considerando un semiespacio de agua sobre uno poroso, y un escenario lacustre con interfases irregulares. Incluimos una sección de resolución de problemas para ayudar a los usuarios a detectar y resolver los errores habituales durante la compilación y la ejecución, junto con sugerencias para lograr eficiencia computacional en términos de uso de memoria y tiempos de cómputo. La distribución abierta de ACPE2D, junto con su documentación, tiene como objetivo apoyar la investigación reproducible y hacer que la simulación de ondas en medios fluidos/porosos complejos sea accesible a un público amplio, desde estudiantes universitarios hasta investigadores experimentados, con aplicaciones en entornos lacustres y marinos, yacimientos de hidrocarburos, hidratos de gas y agua.
